You’ve thought about doing them but you haven’t quite got your act together. Here’s why we really think you should.

It’s super speedy to enter – you only need to write 400 words - you’d probably get that done in 60 minutes. That’s one hour – let me say that again – one hour to potentially win a good old bit of kudos for you, your team or the hard slog that you’ve done

It’s really easy – no complicated entry criteria – just outline why you think yours is a worthy winner and you’re done. We’re not even asking for attachments, pictures or CDroms. Ahem.

It’s free to enter – yes, you read right – it’s free to enter.

The winners are going to be announced at a really alternative award ceremony in December where you get to watch a legendary comms film, see who scoops the awards and even get a couple of snacks and refreshments in the uber cool Electric Cinema in Birmingham.

This is a chance to shout about what you do and if you win it’s a great thing to take back to the Chief Executive and leadership team as just one way of showing the value that you add to your organisation.

It’s great for you personally and you will be chuffed to heckers if you win.

You can use it as a chance to nominate someone else you really rate in the industry – what better early Christmas present could you gift a colleague than that.

We know it’s challenging out there and lots of teams are going through really difficult times. In our view, that makes it even more important that you do this. It helps you show people what a good job you do and if you take just one hour to look back and celebrate a little of what you’ve achieved, we think that’s a job well done.
